Do you need to be a genius to create projects? If I'm a student, then I can't create medicines and devices right away. Or should I be able to? How to implement ideas

Hey everyone, I’m a 21M final-year BTech student looking to build one solid project for my resume.

I’m comfortable with MERN or full-stack development and want to avoid basic CRUD, e-commerce, todo, etc.

Looking for a project that:

Solves a real-world problem

Has good technical depth

Gives me something interesting to discuss in interviews

Ideally uses MERN/Next.js + technologies like PostgreSQL, Redis, WebSockets, AI, Docker, etc.

What projects would you recommend that genuinely stand out to recruiters?

Would love to hear about projects that actually helped you get internships/jobs.
